Relevance: The global transition to electrification of transportation, aerospace, and industry is increasing the demand for efficient, lightweight, and heat-resistant electric motor systems. Advances in additive manufacturing (AM), especially in the field of metal-ceramic composites, are a breakthrough in the field of electric motor modernization. This study examines overcoming the limitations associated with polymer and aluminum structures by integrating metal-ceramic composites into brushless DC motors (BLDC). Objective: To evaluate the practical feasibility, thermal efficiency, and design advantages of 3D-printed metal-ceramic composites for DC motors under standard thermal and electromagnetic conditions. Methods: Three 500-watt motor designs were modeled in Autodesk Fusion 360: a polymer-based motor (PETG, ABS, PEEK via FDM), an engine with a metal-ceramic body based on ALO₃ and ceramic bearings, and a conventional aluminum motor. Each design provided 240 watts of power on 12 windings. Thermal loads, bearing friction, and magnetic fields were evaluated in the simulation. AM methods included SLS, DML, and SLM. Results: The temperature in the plastic engines reached 285.7 °C, in the aluminum engines-117.5 °C, and in the metal-ceramic version-89.9 °C. The composite engine has a thinner body and integrated cooling. Discussion and conclusions: The AM metal-ceramic coating provides excellent thermal control, structural strength and design freedom-an ideal solution for next-generation electric drive systems, despite the higher cost and complexity of processing. © National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 2025.DOI

Практическое значение
The practical significance of this study lies in demonstrating the feasibility of using additively manufactured metal-ceramic composites for the development of high-performance brushless DC (BLDC) motors. The research shows that metal-ceramic structures provide significantly improved thermal management compared to conventional polymer and aluminum designs, reducing operating temperatures and enhancing motor reliability, efficiency, and service life. The ability to manufacture thinner, lightweight housings with integrated cooling systems through additive manufacturing technologies enables the creation of compact and energy-efficient electric drives for transportation, aerospace, robotics, and industrial applications. Furthermore, the findings provide engineers and manufacturers with a foundation for optimizing motor design, reducing overheating risks, and increasing power density. Despite higher production costs, the proposed metal-ceramic approach offers substantial advantages for next-generation electric propulsion systems, supporting the global transition toward electrification and sustainable technologies.Квартиль
